Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • glaze:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • food coloring
  • decorator's gel

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, water and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and chill for several hours.
  2. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with an egg-shaped cookie cutter (or cutters with other Easter themes such as chicks and rabbits). Make a hole with a straw or toothpick in the top of at least 27 cookies.
  3. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
  4. For glaze, combine sugar, water and corn syrup until smooth. Depending on how many colors are desired, divide glaze into several small bowls and tint with food coloring. Using a small brush and stirring glaze often, brush glaze on cookies (or leave some plain if desired). Allow glazed cookies to harden for at least 1 hour.
  5. Add designs with tinted glaze or decorator's gel, referring to photo for ideas. Allow to dry. Yield: 7-8 dozen 2-1/2-in. cookies.
